My Dachshund suddenly started shaking and slowly walking

Customer Question

Customer: My Dachshund suddenly started shaking and slowly walking with tail between legs and clinging to me after I threw his toy once. He ran after it and that was it!!??? JA: Thanks. Can you give me any more details about your issue? Customer: I took him out to potty and he did very little. He just ate before I started to play with him. He tried his normal shaking of the head and couldn't seem to do it? JA: OK got it.

Posted by JustAnswer at customer's request) Hello. I would like to request the following Expert Service(s) from you: Live Phone Call. Let me know if you need more information, or send me the service offer(s) so we can proceed.

I'm sorry that your question wasn't answered in a timely manner. Please let me know if you still need help. I need to know how old your doxi is. My initial thought was that he hurt his neck or back; in othe words, a doxi who suffered a slipped disk. Shaking is a pain response and reluctance in shaking the head suggests that the disk is in his neck. Please give me an update on him.
